​Chelsea star Jorginho: Mancini doesn't need advice on De Bruyne

Chelsea star Jorginho says there is no need for him to give advice to Italy coach Roberto Mancini about the threat of Belgium star Kevin De Bruyne.

Jorginho has come across De Bruyne on more than one occasion in his battles against Manchester City in the Premier League and Europe.

The Blues defeated City in the Champions League final in May, when De Bruyne had to come off with a facial injury.

Italy take on Belgium in the Euro 2020 quarter finals on Friday.

"Mancini doesn't ask me for advice on De Bruyne," Jorginho said, per the Chelsea website.

"He doesn't need it. He knows how to enhance our qualities and neutralise those of the opponents.

"He is certainly a player who makes the difference because he is gifted with this extraordinary football intelligence. We must limit him by taking away spaces and preventing him from crossing."
